Converting decimals to Time
My data for work time is
1.1 1.017 etc... I need to convert this to 1:06 1:01 etc.. and have this data be used in a Pivot Table that shows the average time of all of these cells. When I convert using =TEXT(A1/24,"h:mm"), I get #DIV/0 in the Pivot Table. Thanks |

Converting decimals to Time
The /24 is right, but don't use the text function; you want the data to
remain numeric in order to calculate an average! If you just divide by 24, then format the cells as Time, you should get the right view. The in the Pivot Table, select the field's number format and again choose Time. "Gringarlow" wrote: My data for work time is 1.1 1.017 etc...

Hi Gringarlow,
Perhaps you should simply use =A1/24 and format the result as 'time'. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Gringarlow" wrote in message ... My data for work time is 1.1 1.017 etc...
